[QUOTE=", post: 4580"] NEW! DOWNLOAD THE IDEA COMPLIANCE REPORT AT WRIGHTSLAW As many of you know, parents of children with disabilities have been hampered by two factors: isolation and lack of information. At Wrightslaw, we are working to remedy these problems. We believe that if parents have accurate information about their rights and responsibilities and know that they are not alone, they will join together and force the system to change. On January 26, we advised newsletter subscribers that the National Council on Disability (NCD) would soon release the IDEA COMPLIANCE REPORT. summary - [url="http://www.wrightslaw.com/advoc/nwltr/2000/nl_00_0126.htm"]http://www.wrightslaw.com/advoc/nwltr/2000/nl_00_0126.htm[/url] report - [url="http://www.wrightslaw.com/news/2000/NCD_IDEA_Report_00_0125.htm"]www.wrightslaw.com/news/2000/NCD_IDEA_Report_00_0125.htm[/url] *NOTE* Even if you aren't involved in Special Education Services with you child at this time, this is IMPORTANT reading. Special Education is not what it used to be. It provides protections to many of "our" kid with mental illness, and mood disorders. Your child deserves special services (not stuck in an Learning Disability (LD) class), and may qualify for a Individulized Education Plan (IEP), if they are impaired by their disorder, physically, achedemically or socially. I am learning just how LITTLE my son's school district knows (or wants to) as far as this is concerned, and they are getting a real education on the subject. I'd encourage everyone to read this report, called The report is called, "BACK TO SCHOOL ON CIVIL RIGHTS: ADVANCING THE FEDERAL COMMITMENT TO LEAVE NO CHILD BEHIND," through Wright's Law, and contact your state and local Special Education Offices.
